As part of the ACES Woods Hole program, I am working with Jennifer Watts, Taniya RoyChowdhury, and the Sea Education Association to research and develop my own project, while learning skills to develop professionally. My goal is to deepen my expertise in Marine Ecology, and to better understand and communicate the impacts of climate change on marine life.

The overarching goal of the ACES Woods Hole program is to create a scalable, collaborative learning ecosystem that contributes to the geosciences workforce. The program is dedicated to facilitating the transition of recent college graduates into graduate studies and careers in climate and environmental sciences.
